The girls had a snack after school then topped it off with Root Beer floats. Ina said no to the sweets and then about 5 minutes later asked if she could have a small scoop of ice cream. After receiving her bowl she proceeded to put hot fudge on it. When she sat down she asked what Root Beer was. We told her it was a soda like Coke or Pepsi. We encouraged her to try this new soda that she has never had before. Hayley poured her a very small amount. Ina smelled it first and said, "oh it smells horrible." We all started laughing, including her. She then was very afraid to taste it. I told her to take a small sip over the sink just in case she needed to spit it out. She plugged her nose and took a small sip. Immediately she turned to the sink, looking as if she was going to spew. Instead she swallowed with a horrible look on her face and quickly added "YUCK! That is gross. You seriously like that?" The girls and I could not stop laughing for at least 10 minutes. Our eyes were running with tears. Ina was laughing as well and added that her blog will say I made everyone cry today.

Hello.
It is fun reading your blogg.Nice to see from your point of view.
Regards
Anne Grete (inas mum)
Leonie (our exchange student from Germany) also didn't care for root beer. She really liked mineral water, and Calistoga makes some flavored ones, so she'd drink those, mostly.
Leonie was also a 'salt' person vs. sweets - except for Raisinets. She devoured those.
Wonder if Ina would like them?
:)
Tina,
Thanks for the suggestion and thanks again for the idea of doing a blog about her visit. As you can see, Ina's mom is already catching up on things from our point of view!
I'll write an entry later about Ina's favorite drink so far: Diet Pepsi.
